It has been such an honor photographing this sweetie every three months for the past year. I'm really sad that I won't get to see her so often anymore (though I am doing their family photos in October, yay!). She is probably the happiest baby I've ever photographed. She is so go with the flow and I was able to try out so many ideas on her throughout the year. Here's a little compilation storyboard I made for her momma of her first year that she has hanging in her room!

For Miss {L}'s one year photo shoot, we were able to bring back the curved stool I used for her newborn photos (my first time using the stool and my first outdoor newborn photos!). We also did an outdoor cake smash and a tub session (so smash and splash session!). I just adore how they turned out!













Time flies way too fast! I can't believe this little guy is already two! Seems like yesterday I was doing his momma's maternity photos. He definitely knows what he likes and wants, which wasn't pictures, haha. But Bucky Badger came to the rescue and we were able to play around a bit and get some good shots!




We even got some with big sis and mom and one of big sis alone ;)



I truly love meeting new families. It's one of the best things about my job. This family was so sweet and I loved hearing their story. They have three beautiful children and had to go through so much with their youngest including long NICU stays and open heart surgery. We actually had to reschedule their first session because he needed his heart surgery sooner then they expected. But he is incredibly strong and such a fighter. Some people may think having a child with Down Syndrome is a burden, but I have seen through multiple families how much of a blessing it is. This little guy is a testament to that!










At the end of the shoot, mom wanted some pictures to use on her own blog for the cause of Inclusion. I loved being a part of such an amazing message and her family shared it so well!



Nothing warms my heart more then when I see the joy of a child getting a sibling. I know Miss {B} was very excited to get her baby brother; you can really see it in these pictures! I just love this family and it's so fun seeing them now as a family of 4!








I did a tea party session with my girl's last year and it was one of the most fun I've had taking pictures of them. They usually aren't too thrilled to do a session (photographer's child syndrome is real!), but they still ask to do another tea party session. I decided to do a stylized tea party session for a couple clients. It was complete with dresses and accessories to borrow (the little girls seemed to love to choose their own dress!), decor and cookies and apple juice. I'd say it was a success and I may make this an annual thing!
